ZixCorp Expands ZixGateway Hosted Service to SMB Market

Zix Corporation (ZixCorp), (NASDAQ: ZIXI), a leader in email data protection, has announced the commercial availability of ZixGateway® Hosted for small- to medium-size businesses (SMBs). ZixGateway is a policy-based email encryption service that automatically scans and encrypts outbound email that contains sensitive content. In a fully hosted environment, ZixCorp will manage the deployment and configuration of ZixGateway, along with all upgrades and maintenance, enabling IT professionals in SMBs to leverage industry-leading email encryption without dedicating resources to manage the solution.

“With the evolving acceptance of fully hosted solutions, we invested in our infrastructure to meet the growing demands of the SMB market. We leveraged our robust history of hosted services and nearly ten years of hosting experience with large enterprise customers to develop a cost-effective, hosted solution that enables us to take care of deployment and management while SMBs focus on other top business needs,” said Rick Spurr, ZixCorp’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We understand that IT within SMBs often wear a lot of hats and manage many competing priorities. Delivering ZixGateway Hosted to SMBs enables those administrators to save time without impacting the quality of their email security.”

ZixGateway Hosted integrates seamlessly with cloud-based email platforms, such as Office 365 and Google Apps, as well as on-premise email platforms. ZixGateway Hosted is supported by the ZixData CenterTM, a state-of-the-art facility with SysTrust/SOC3 certification, SOC2 accreditation and PCI Level 1, DSS V2.0 certification. ZixData Center is staffed 24 hours a day and has a track record of consistent 99.999% availability.

In addition to the strength of ZixData Center, ZixCorp has a long history of hosting services. ZixCorp developed and maintains the industry’s largest hosted email encryption community, known as ZixDirectory®. Growing at approximately 100,000 members per week, ZixDirectory offers reliable services to more than 40 million members. ZixCorp also hosts thousands of secure, custom web portals for “pull” encrypted email delivery and has developed hosting experience with the integration of customer deployments for Office 365, Symantec and Google Apps.

Through the Partner Program, ZixCorp has also worked with Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to incorporate ZixGateway and other Zix Email Encryption solutions into MSP hosted offerings. ZixCorp currently has partnerships with more than 115 MSPs.

“We’ve been privileged to partner with leading Managed Service Providers to meet the needs of the SMB market. We look forward to continuing those mutually beneficial relationships and providing industry-leading email encryption to their customers,” said Spurr.
